Taking Hans Belting's "Face and Mask: A Double History" as a starting point, the exhibition "Histories of Faces: Belting Variations" calls for an interpretive reading of a selection of works from multiple disciplinary areas that have the representation of the face at their core.

The exhibition allows us to reflect upon not only the numerous topics derived from such inexhaustible subject matter, but also the diversified relationships between the face and several problematics from different ages and cultures—for example, the use of masks and funerary rites, matters of identification and policing, the portrait, the self-portrait, and identity, memory and archive.
